Haiku Compression with Kigo

This haiku depends on the form's tight, three-line compression and its seasonal word summer grasses to set a concise scene. By juxtaposing a natural image with the implication of ruined battle, the poem implies loss and transience without narrative detail. The haiku's brevity invites readers to supply what is left unsaid, turning a brief image into a larger, elegiac sense of memory and vanished dreams.
